Life After Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 105
I nodded with an awkward smile.
“Then please convey my thanks to His Grace for not forgetting to send me grapes. Tell him I’m eating them well—he even used preservation magic for the delivery.”
“I will.”
Smiling faintly in gratitude, Marchioness Weekly remained just as she had at our first meeting—her hair impeccably gathered without a single strand out of place. With her upright posture and alert eyes, she truly embodied the elegance and grace of a noblewoman, like a white lily.
‘Someone like her suits the position of duchess far better than I do.’
I gasped, startled by my own thought.
I never imagined I’d belittle myself like this. It was the backlash of worrying all night until dark circles formed beneath my eyes.
Sighing, I sank deeper into my seat.
The previous day’s kiss with Edmund had made me realize something: embarrassingly, I liked him far more than I’d ever admitted to myself—so much so that my heart felt utterly insufficient.
How ironic that a kiss, of all things, became the catalyst for recognizing my feelings. My body was clearly loyal to instinct.
Letting out a hollow laugh, I stared blankly into my teacup.
Yet a practical problem remained.
I simply wasn’t suited for the role of duchess.
My family’s pedigree was shallow—a nouveau riche clan with a scandalous divorce history and negative public opinion. As one of the few women who’d inherited a title in a conservative aristocracy, I was undoubtedly branded as a troublemaking mudskipper muddying their pristine waters.
Opposition from House Mipidian’s retainers was also a foregone conclusion. Despite owning the Leblon Mine, they weren’t destitute—they’d surely desire a wise, refined woman from an established noble line.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
